Singapore took the lead in using 110,000 street lights to build a smart city

March 13th, “Lianhe Zaobao” reported that according to research institute Juniper Research’s latest 2017 global smart city performance index report, Singapore ranks first in the world’s top 20 smart cities, surpassing London, New York, and Seoul, South Korea.

Singapore took the lead in using 110,000 street lights to build a smart city

In 2014, Singapore upgraded “Smart City 2015” to “Smart Country 2025,” and plans to promote the nations’ efforts to build a smart city nationwide. This is expected to build the worlds’ first smart country. This is the worlds’ first blueprint for smart countries. In the planning and implementation of smart cities, many ideas and practices in Singapore are bright. Among them, the use of street lights to intelligently upgrade the networking and build a shared infrastructure in cities has taken a key step from theory to practice.

Under the background of Singapore’s efforts to develop “Smart Country 2025,” Singapore’s Land Transport Department (LTA) proposed a “Intelligent + LED” upgrade program for public lighting, and plans to transform 110,000 sets of existing high-pressure sodium lamps into smart ones. LED intelligent street light of control system. After the transformation, it can directly reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, improve operational efficiency, and achieve on-demand lighting.

The project is an important implementation of the “Smart Country 2025” implementation in Singapore. The government will rely on the island’s street light network to deploy future smart city applications, including plans to install nearly 600,000 smart city sensing devices. The street light communication network must not only guarantee the high reliability, stability, and safety of street lighting control, but also connect the city’s long-term planning and deployment for the next 10 years.

Starting from the “Smart Country 2025” strategy, Singapore has put forward very strict technical indicators for lighting products, control systems and system integration. Road lighting has always been an important indicator of the governments’ infrastructure construction and maintenance. In addition to requiring 99.9% coverage of system communications, it also puts strict requirements on the overall system response time, air upgrades, system integration, and security. Claim. Singapore seeks and integrates advanced technology resources globally. TELEMATICS Singapore, Cisco USA, UK TELENSA, Japan PARADOX, China Rongwen Energy Technology, and Itron Inc. in the United States and local partners compete for bids.

After 2 years of testing and technical demonstration, the Land Transport Department of Singapore (LTA) announced the successful bid of 110,000 sets of street lighting upgrades. Itron and Rongwen Energy Technology of the United States rely on the stability, communication speed, and reliability of the IPV6+MESH communication technology and the central management system. , Security, and the advantages of scalable applications and numerous large-scale application cases around the world have successfully won. So far, this is the largest and highest standard LED street lamp intelligent upgrade project undertaken by domestic companies overseas.
